PAPER CONTAINER.

Application filed May 23,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY S. BREWING- TON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Paper Containers, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to receptacles which are made of paper,pasteboard and analogous material, and its object is to provide a noveland improved means for uniting the ends to the main body portion of thereceptacle, whereby separation of said parts is effectually preventedand a tight joint there between is produced.

The object stated is attained by means of a combination and arrangementof parts to be hereinafter described and claimed, and in order that thesame may be better understood, reference is had to the accompanyingdrawing forming a part of this specification.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a central vertical section of the receptacle,and Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof.

Referring specifically to the drawing, 5 denotes the main body portionof the receptacle, the same being cylindrical. The receptacle is closedat the bottom by a head 6 in the shape of a disk, and the top of thereceptacle is provided with a lid or cap which is removable and composedof a cylindrical side portion 7 and a head 8, it being understood thatsaid side portion seats snugly over the outside of the body portion 5.

At its bottom, the body portion 5 has an inward bend 9 which is carriedupwardly for a short distance to produce an internal annular shoulder 10in the body portion, as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The bottom disk 6 seatson and is supported by this shoulder.

The marginal portion of the bottom disk 6 is stepped as shown in Fig. 1to produce a short cylindrical portion 11 having a continuous annularoutstanding flange 12 at the top. The cylindrical portion 11 fits snuglyinside the bend 9, and the flange 12 seats on top of the shoulder 10produced bysaid bend, the edge of the flange being in closeSpecification of Letters Patent.

and intimate contact with the interior surface of the body portion 5 ofthe receptacle above the shoulder. It will therefore be seen that thejoint between the disk 6 and the receptacle body 5 is sealed in threeplaces, namely, between the parts 11 and 9, the shoulder 10 and theflange 12, and the edge of the flange and the interior surface of thebody, with the result that a tight joint is assured. The parts arepressed together by a rolling or other suitable process.

The parts 7 and 8 are united in the same manner as the parts 5 and 6,and upon applying the lid to the receptacle, the flange 13 correspondingto the flange 12 seats on the top edge of the body portion 5 of thereceptacle, as shown in Fig. 2.

A receptacle constructed as hereinbefore described is strong anddurable, and it can beeasily and cheaply manufactured. All the partswhich enter into the structure are composed of paper, paste-board oranalogous material.

I claim:

1. A paper receptacle comprising a cylindrical body portion having itswall bent inwardly at one end to form an internal shoulder, and aclosure for said end comprising a counter-sunk disk having itsperipheral portion stepped to seat on the shoulder, and also to contactwith the interior surface of the body above the shoulder.

2. A paper receptacle comprising a cylindrical body portion having aninternal shoulder at one end, and a closure for said end comprising acounter-sunk disk having its peripheral portion seated on the shoulderand in contact with the interior surface of the body above the shoulder.

3. A paper receptacle comprising a cylindrical body portion'having aninternal shoulder at one end, and a closure for said end comprising acounter-sunk disk having its peripheral portion seated on and in closeintimate contact with the shoulder and the interior surface of the bodyabove the shoulder.

In testimon whereof I affix my signature.
